Although OnePlus is best known for their incredibly cheap smartphone, the OnePlus One, they still see themselves as a technology company, not just a phone manufacturer. With that in mind, the company has released a few teaser images about an upcoming device that’s not a smartphone, not a tablet, and not a smartwatch. OnePlus is calling it a “game changer,” though, and you can see where they’re going with that in the three pictures that were released.

The three images say “Start a new game,” “For the fun of it,” and “You’re in control.” Any guesses on how those things may tie into a game changing device? Yep, my money is on OnePlus releasing a game controller. Read more

Talk about having too much time on your hands. This Sprint Evo 4G Android enthusiast has taken it to the max with what has to be one of the craziest concoctions we’ve seen in a long time. The Android user, Jack Malone, is responsible for what is being dubbed as the “Evotainment System”. He managed to add to his Evo a Wii racing wheel made by Nerf, drilled it out and created a classic looking controller. The backing is supported by a strip of 3M dual lock. He then somehow attached a universal GPS mount to top it off and hold the monstrous Evo. Bluetooth capabilities make it all happen and works seamlessly with the emulator. There you have it folks. This is what happens when a hard core Nintendo fan answers his urge for integration with his favorite OS. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

You’ve got yourself the coolest controller dock around. Hit the break to check out a video made by modder “oTheRaino”, the genius mind behind the hack, and let us know what you think in the comments!
